How to Get Lucky (Sexy in NYC #3)
Erin McCarthy
Sometimes there is more than one way to get lucky… Allison Parker knows winning the New York state lottery is impossible for a retail slave and fashion designer wanna-be who doesn’t, uh, play the lottery. But after a particularly bad day at work and a random prediction from a quirky psychic, she does just that, and wins. Money. Lots of it. So what does any sane woman do? She tells off her boss, quits her job, breaks the lease on her apartment, buys a round at the bar, and takes the dare to make out with the hottest guy in the room. Marco Lucky is exhausted and over his bandmates and their diva antics. The drugs, the tantrums, are all so juvenile and self-destructive he finds himself looking for an escape. Yet finding a quiet spot in New York City is damn near impossible and he’s already tired of the women hitting on him strictly because he’s famous. But then the crazy brunette with the winning lottery ticket kisses him and he finds himself impulsively taking her home. It’s been years since he felt chemistry that intense and her snarky wit makes him laugh. When morning rolls around he knows it can’t be anything more than one night given that he’s headed out on tour soon, but when Allison realizes her winning ticket is gone he’s pretty damn sure it’s his fault. Allison figures it’s only fitting that she be the first woman in the history of ever to hit the lottery and score a smoking hot rock star all in one night, only to wake up with her entire life destroyed a mere eighteen hours later. Marco’s offer of help makes her feel like the biggest lame ass loser, and she can’t get away from him fast enough. But when the Worst Day Ever comes to an end, will Marco and Allison be ready to put the issue of money to bed? Because being lucky in love just might be hitting the jackpot after all…

I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
How to Get Lucky by Erin McCarthy is the story about Allison Parker, who's not having the best life. She gets told by her supposedly psychic friend that love just isn't in the cards for her. But money is. So the friend convinces her to buy a lottery ticket. Which she does. And she wins. Then she meets a rock star and her life changes in ways she can't imagine.
I really liked this book. There was humor and romance and a whole lot of fun. I didn't love Allison at first, but as the book goes on, you really begin to know and understand her and it's easier to warm up to her. Marco was great. I loved him. The other characters were equally as charming, especially Beckwith. Hands down, Beckwith was my favorite character.
As it turns out, How to Get Lucky is the book I've been waiting YEARS for ... and I never even knew it! I read this book pretty much "sight unseen." Meaning, when I saw it was an Erin McCarthy novel, I knew I had to read it. I've read and enjoyed books by this author in the past and knew it would be good reading. So I didn't read a summary or synopsis or anything about the book. I just jumped right into it .... and could NOT put it down. I read it pretty much in one sitting. Stayed up past my bedtime to do it. And when I got to the author notes at the end, I saw that it's book 3 in a series I had started years ago and had been waiting for the continuation. I was so excited and bummed at the same time. It had been so long since I read The Pregnancy Test and You Don't Know Jack and just didn't make the connection. But this book gives me an excuse to go back and re-read the first two books. If you read those first two books, I highly recommend reading this one. If you didn't read those first two books, I still would recommend this as it can pretty much stand on its own.
